LTE Network KPIs

, such as Call setup success rate, Call Drop Rate, Handover SuccessRate, which is
determined by the radio network environment, planning and
optimizationcapabilities, should be performed on the Drive Test (DT) routes in
rollout clusters.
How and Which KPI to Check before and after LTE Launch
Operator always needs to check LTE performance before commercial launch and
aftercommercial launch and here I write how and which KPI to check.As This is
general guide soit is change for different operator but it cover all KPI.There are two
types of methods for KPIs measurement: Field Test and Statistic Collection.Different
measurement methods and KPI categories shall be taken into consideration so asto
match the following two acceptance phases.
Preliminary Acceptance
For Preliminary Acceptance (before the commercial launch), low traffic (even empty)
is notable to produce sufficient traffic data to evaluate the correlative Statistics KPIs.
The mainpurpose of Preliminary Acceptance is to verify whether the optimized
cluster achieves thecoverage and performance requirements or not, so the Field
Test (Drive Test and Stationary Test) KPIs are recommended for this phase.
Final Acceptance (Stability Acceptance, Optional)
For Final Acceptance (after the commercial launch), statistics collection method
could beintroduced under the condition that a minimum amount of traffic per site at
the Busy
Houris reached (the sufficient data are available). Based on worldwide experiences
of LTEcommercial networks, the following KPIs are suggested for Preliminary
Acceptance andFinal Acceptance separately.
Proposed KPIs for Preliminary Acceptance
